LandyManLuke Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Having seen a few pictures of spliced eyes in ropes on different websites, I'd be interested to hear how people have spliced ropes themselves, or had ropes spliced for them. The reason being, I have seen a fair few splices with the rope passed through it's self a couple of times. This goes against everything i've seen, done and been told about, in the Marine world. I'd be interested in anyone else's perspective. Cheers Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Having just done some research, I've answered my own question. Uncovered Dynema as used for winch lines is spliced as i've seen, with the stitching:Uncovered Marine ropes, with a protective outer sheath are spliced differently: Covered So, urm, that's solved that one then....

Portal Bob Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi All, I use 4 times through the body of the rope - 6 strands a side, then down the core. BUT - most important - you have got to taper the end in the core so when you slide you hand down the outside of the rope you cannot feel any bumps or ridges. Reason - if the rope is forced around the lip of an untapered line within the outer rope, the strength is compromised by anything up to 50%. Be warned. If in doubt have a look at the "Quick Splicing" instructions on my website. Regards, Andy Thomlinson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I do mine as per Bowyer's instructions on his website for an eye splice. Had the rear wheels of the 90 off the ground pulling down on the front so I think it is strong enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
